Books CAN change lives

Last week was a whirlwind for me, but now that I'm back and catching up on stuff, I want to jump on board and point people to the awesome efforts of Guys Lit Wire, Readergirlz, YALSA, and If I Can Read, I Can Do Anything.

They are trying to get a bunch of books to two schools for Native Americans - Ojo Encino Day School and Alchesay High School.

Please read THIS POST over at Guys Lit Wire, and consider helping out somehow. You have until Wednesday, April 20th and get on board!! I'm doing what I can by sending some of my own books, since I still have a few author copies laying around. Here are the instructions, if you'd like to buy a book or two or fifty, which I'm copying from the original Guys Lit Wire post.

"There are wish lists set up for each school on the powells.com site. Once there, click on "wish list" up in the upper right corner. From there you will be prompted for the email address of the list owner. Type in "guyslitwire@gmail.com". You will then be given the choice to select either Ojo Encino or Alchesay.

After you are done shopping, and ready to make your purchase, you will be asked to confirm that you are buying books for a certain wishlist. Checking those boxes will keep the lists up to date and prevent books from appearing as unsold even after they were purchased. Now all you have to do is enter the mailing addresses, and here they are:

This is the official website of author Lisa Schroeder. You will find information on me, my books, school visits, upcoming appearances, and much more. If you are a teacher or librarian interested in scheduling a Skype visit with me, there is more information HERE. Thanks for stopping by!
